AN oBouRATE OLD WOMAN.
Collapse Of Nm Incident which Opened
Very Promisingly-AD disappointment.

Very Promisingly-A disappointment.
A rough bearded, red nosed, desperate
looking man; shrill voiced, energetic
newsboy; an industrious old woman;
these three were brought together by the
fates with the evident intention of max
ing such an incident as would read well
II told in Sunday school paper. But the
industrious old woman was obdurate, and
as she was woman the fates could not
help themselves and retired, leaving the
incident to develop itselfas best it might.
So it happened thus: The scene was on
Park row, opposite the postofIice; the
man I'm the play, cold and hungry, ven-
tured to beg assistance Of newsboy.
The boy knew what 1t meant to be cold
and hungry, but he knew also that he
must look out for number one.
"Just cent, bub, "pleaded the desper-
ate man.
"Tell We wot 'tis," said the boy reaec-
lively, ~ can't give We no sugar, cause
I'm hard up myself, but III give ye a
paper y en- see wot ye en- do"
The hungry man took up the paper and
before he could do or say anything the
boy added: "Why not try trade on the
old woman at the cookey stand:"
Together they approached the old
woman. She was seated on a stool behind
her array OF pastry. A coarse shawl was
wrapped about her shoulders and her fin
gers were busy with knitting.
"Will We give one Of those for this
paper" asked the man, abruptly, while the
boy stood by interested in the experiment
TO the extent that he neglected his own
business. The cookey vender looked up
with disdainful surprise. "ilohI' she
said.
"Will you give me one of those or any
thing on the stand for this paper'" re-
peated the man.
"Give him cookey for The News, "
chirped the boy.
The fates surely intended the old woman
TO display great kindness OF heart, tosym-
pathize with the unfortunate man, and
give him two cookies aud let him keep his
paper as well, but she didn't do anything
Of the kind.
"Phat's the good av yer paper 10 met''
she exclaimed scornfully: "get along wild
de bot av ycz or | u carl cop, 50 now. "
The man and the boy looked at each
other disappomtedly. "Ye'll have To sell
yer paper, boss" said the latter philo-
sophically Aud the incident that opened
so promisingly collapsed. The last seen
of the man he was trying To sell his one
paper aS he walked along the row. The
old woman, who wasn't going TO get
| taken in by no suckers" had resumed
her knitting and the boy was exercising
his shrill yoice.-"Uncle Bill in Chicago

Departure In sIeepInr Cars.

The charges upon sleeping cars have
always been SO large that they should
have covered the service Of attendants As
well as the use OF a berth. Yet every
generous minded person has felt under a
moral obligation 10 fee the porter because
he knew that the porter's employers gave
him so small wages that unless the passen-
gers came 10 his rescue he would be shame
fully underpaid. The Wisconsin Central
Railroad company has Just announced q
new departure in this matter. IL has
decided to increase the pay Of the porters
and walters employed on its sleeping and
dining cars TO an amount which will give
them ample compensation for their work
and prohibit them from receiving tips"
from passengers Orders have been issued
TO them TO receive no money from any
passenger except for blacking shoes,
"when requested" TO do 50, for which
service they are permitted 10 accept ten
cents. This is practical way OF dealing
with the fee problem and is the only prac-
tical way.-New York Mail and Express.

will reflect upon the Republican party.
The whole blame rests upon those d-n

Cav and re.tiv. Life of a Drug Clerk.

Gay and Festive Life of n Drug Clerk.
To he Editor Of the Register.
SIR:-People do not or cannot imagine
the life the drug clerk has to lead. They
think be has a very nice time; but he has
not, for many reasons. The first one Is he
arises from q restless sleep at q a. m; he
goes to work and cleans his store until s
a. M; be has one hour for breakfast, and
returns at 8 q. m. and hustles till IL m;
he has one hour for dinner, and returns at
1 o. H., not to sit down and read, as q
good many people think, but to work for
five long and weary hours. At 6 p. m. he
goes to supper, and returns at Z p. m, and
works at his case and behind the counters
till 8 p. M. If he has nothing else to do
he doesn't 60 to sleep, but studies to get
more knowledge from his books. There
he sits studying Up to IL p. m. he has no
sleep or rest. He gets to bed at IL, but
how long does he get to sleep he does not
know, for he has to get up two or three
times before daylight, sometimes for five
cents, other times charge it," He does
his work like q soldier, for he must not
grumble. When / say soldier l don't
mean any like some Of those of Friday, but
like Grant and Hancock, one who goes
calamity to the front with a bright smile,
and not one who drops in at the rear end.
Such is the life of a pill roller-eighteen
hours work out of twerty-four.
